Welcome! You are looking at my brand-spanking-new release of the four-year-old OneMind blog. I hope you like the new look and feel.
A couple of weeks ago I decided that I wanted to switch my old blog, which was served on Drupal, to WordPress. There were a number of reasons for this. First, I’m finding more clients who are interested in having sites built in WordPress (and not just blogs either) and little or no demand for Drupal work. Second, I had to do an in-depth evaluation of WordPress for my biggest client and was blown away by how far the technology has come in the two years since I last visited it. Third, I really liked the way themes are designed and built in WordPress; I felt I could master them fairly easily and then be able to move on and create my own theme or take more control of the theme I chose. So far, that’s been the case.
There are so many available plug-ins for WP and they are in general so much easier to install, configure and use than those in Drupal (from which WP’s creators clearly learned) that I’m looking forward to a lot more enjoyable times experimenting with various features and enhancements.
Moving over from Drupal turned out to be fairly painless with some available tools and the help of my brother-in-law and sysadmin guru Jeff Soule.
So here we are. New digs. New navigation. Take a look around. Hope you like the place.
